Filopappou Hill
  • 2.Acropolis MuseumBuilt over an excavation you can see through the glass floor, with the Parthenon sculptures displayed in line of sight of the temple they came from. Do it the same day as the rock — it completes the sentence.
  • 12.Filopappou HillThe classic photograph of the Acropolis — level with it, full-frontal, pine trees framing the marble — is taken from here, and the walk up is ten shaded minutes. Locals' sunset spot; bring something to drink.
